Exploring ways for visualizing search results

Since I started working with the people from SIRIS Academic, the topic of using visualizations with semantic modelling technologies has become a real interest for me. Specially since I’m sharing office with the great Alessandro Mosca.

As a first and simple effort towards this direction, we (with the special effort of Xavi Giménez) have developed a D3 version of the Elastic List presented some years ago by Moritz Stefaner. The idea is to provide a bunch of filters on the dimensions of a dataset in the form of collapsable boxes sized according to the number of entries they repreesnt. While this visualization will be incorporated in a search platform to visualize results from a query, you can check out our live demo using a dataset from Nobel Prizes
